Workplace Highlights in Greater Pittsburgh

Pittsburgh is increasingly seen as a rising hub for artificial intelligence, with major projects underway, including transforming an old steel mill in Aliquippa into AI data centers—driving new economic energy and potential job growth in the region. Meanwhile, data-center employment across Pennsylvania has surged, rising over 48% from 2018 to 2024, with Pittsburgh hosting a significant share of this expansion as investors and companies boost infrastructure to support AI and advanced tech. At the same time, traditional industries remain under pressure: a recent deadly explosion at U.S. Steel’s Clairton coke plant near Pittsburgh has sparked renewed concerns about safety, modernization, and the future stability of jobs tied to legacy steel facilities.

Former Zillow exec targets $1.3T market

The wealthiest companies tend to target the biggest markets. For example, NVIDIA skyrocketed nearly 200% higher in the last year with the $214B AI market’s tailwind.

That’s why investors are so excited about Pacaso.

Created by a former Zillow exec, Pacaso brings co-ownership to a $1.3 trillion real estate market. And by handing keys to 2,000+ happy homeowners, they’ve made $110M+ in gross profit to date. They even reserved the Nasdaq ticker PCSO.

No wonder the same VCs behind Uber, Venmo, and eBay also invested in Pacaso. And for just $2.90/share, you can join them as an early-stage Pacaso investor today.
